Audience Feedback for first draft

Today I screened the first cut of my film trailer to people within my media class who would fit my target audience. The video still had some amendments that I wanted to do such as re-recording the dialogue in the seen with Kelly. I created an animoto video containing the audience feedback that I have received for the first draft of my trailer.

Some people suggested that I could shorten some of the clips at the beginning of my film trailer which I agree with and will take on board as I was concerned about the length of my trailer. Also some people criticized the pace of the trailer. I agree with these statements to an extent as some of the shots could do with cutting down in length however I believe that the slower shots work with the narative and the intended genre of my trailer. Also my trailer is very character driven so I believe that these shots can be justified. Also someone recommended that I add text into some places to seperate the footage which was something that I was interested in playing around with.

I am not happy with he ending of the trailer as I believe that it gives the plot of the film away so I am considering removing this to keep the audience in the dark and keep them guessing which would also encourage people who were interested to go and see it at the cinema in order to find out what happens.
